Ambitious questAdventurer Markus Pukonen has spent over seven years traveling the world using non-motorized transport.
Before beginning the trip, Pukonen founded nonprofit organization Routes of Change, with the aim of raising funds and awareness for small social and environmental organizations throughout his journey.
“So the fact that what I’m doing is such a crazy, astonishing thing [to some people] is really, really bizarre to me.
Although Pukonen has used almost every form of non-motorized transport possible during the journey, he says there’s nothing quite like traveling on water.
